【這不是藝評‧是心得分享】「非常比利時」萊斯民謠三重唱Laïs 根生土壤的民謠活力呈現了屬於「比利時」的異國風情

文/林曉當

Laïs以純淨的合聲搭配搖滾音樂元素，展現了根生土壤的民謠活力，憶起高中時期很喜愛恩雅的音樂（愛爾蘭語：Eithne Ní Bhraonáin，英語：Enya Brennan），那是一種空靈純淨、彷彿不食人間煙火的聲音，或許因為對於北歐、居爾特、恩雅式的曲風有一種懷念的記憶，所以在兩廳院比利時系列節目中，也特別關注到萊斯民謠三重唱Laïs這個團體。

Laïs的聲音純淨帶有一種野性，彷彿來自遠古的森林，微風旖旎在耳邊繚繞，「萊斯民謠三重唱」是一支由來自比利時西北方小鎮的女子團體，由喬蘭‧鮑薇拉特絲、安涅莉絲‧布蘿森絲及娜塔莉‧德爾克勞克絲，三名女子所組成，她們以蘇格蘭、瑞典、義大利、法蘭德斯、愛爾蘭等地的傳統民歌為編曲素材，再搭配著愛爾蘭詩人葉慈、法國詩人保羅．魏倫及智利詩人巴布羅．聶魯達等人的詩作為歌詞，唱法混合著吟唱、搖滾等元素，因此歌曲風格時而溫煦純粹、時而又冰冷華麗。

從1994年在比利時正式成軍後，至今已20年，萊斯民謠三重唱在世界各國巡迴演出，並陸續推出唱片，這次來台演出特別加入了低音大提琴、吉他、曼陀林等樂器編制，以特有的民謠音樂，完整呈現了屬於「比利時」的異國風情。

萊斯女聲三重唱Laïs

Laïs is a Belgian group that creates folk, and world music consisting of polyphonic close harmony songs, occasionally a cappella, based on self-composed melodies with lyrics dating back to the Middle Ages. "Laïs" is a Celtic word, meaning "voice".

Laïs' career started in 1994, when Jorunn and Annelies, together with Soetkin Collier (who later became a vocalist with the Belgian folk music group Urban Trad), performed a song at a folk festival in Gooik, near Brussels. Nathalie joined the group somewhat later. They had their breakthrough after their appearance at Folk Dranouter, near Ypres, in 1996.[1]
Their debut CD album, sung a capella as well as accompanied instrumentally by the folk rock band Kadril, was released in 1998. They performed at the Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees in Oudtshoorn, South Africa (1996), at Vorst Nationaal, Belgium (1998), Canada, France (1999) (as a supporting act for Sting), Spain (1999, 2000), the Netherlands and China (2001). [2]
During the summer of 2000 they performed at important festivals in Belgium such as Pinkpop and Rock Werchter. In 2001 they made a much acclaimed return to the festival at Dranouter.

In 2003 they made a mini tour along Flemish churches and chapels, singing a capella with the vocal support of Ludo Vandeau. This resulted in the CD "A la capella".

In April 2004 they released their third CD to the market under the title Douce Victime, with covers from Jacques Brel and Herman van Veen. This time it not only contained a capella songs but also Cajun music, the London Chamber Orchestra and some World Music influences. It was recorded at the legendary Abbey Road Studios in London.
With their album The Ladies' Second Song, released in September 2007, the group changed their approach and tried to reach a broader public. They could no longer be characterized as folk. The album introduces the use of electric guitars, loops and electronic beats. Their lyrics have equally undergone a thorough overhaul. Instead of drawing their lyrics from old Flemish songbooks, they have turned to poetry from William Butler Yeats, Paul Verlaine and Pablo Neruda.
In 2009 they released the album Laïs Lenski together with the cellist Simon Lenski.
